This Friday is the thirteenth day of the month! I don't believe in bad luck, so in my books it's a lucky date! So indeed, as luck would have it, my two guests today will be showing up to the studio in full human form - no phoners!

David Gogo: A major figure in Canada's blues scene, David is releasing his 14th album, Vicksburg Call. Apart from 14 albums, his prolific career also includes 5 Juno nominations and multiple Maple Blues Awards, not to mention thousands of tour miles! Catch David live at the Rainbow Bistro on Friday, 9 pm at 76 Murray St. in Ottawa.

Rise Ashen: Ottawa-based dj musician who likes to meld traditional world beats with progressive electro-pop melodies has been busy composing a soundtrack for a dance performance choreographed by Amelia Griffin. The piece titled Feelers is featured in TACTICS which is part of a series of independent local theatre productions taking place at the Arts Court Theatre. Amelia joins us in the studio to tell us more.

Also queued up for you this week: Autumn Still (at Avant Garde Bar, Saturday with Arms of the Girl) and more from bands coming to town this weekend!

Find us at 89.1 FM in Ottawa or online at CHUO.fm. You can also find us on iTunes radio under College stations and on #943 on Rogers HD.
